FreeSync is the brand name for an adaptive synchronization technology for LCD displays that support a dynamic refresh rate aimed at reducing screen tearing.[1] FreeSync was initially developed by AMD in response to NVidia's G-Sync. FreeSync is royalty-free, free to use, and has no performance penalty.[2] As of 2015, VESA has adopted FreeSync as an optional component of the DisplayPort 1.2a specification.[3] FreeSync has a dynamic refresh rate range of 9–240 Hz.[2] As of August 2015, Intel also plans to support VESA's adaptive-sync with the next generation of GPU.[4]
